PROTECTOR: Protecting Places of Worship

The goal of the PROTECTOR EU Project is to enhance the protection of places of worship through the assessment of hate crime and terrorism threats, examining protective security measures and Law Enforcement Agency responses.

The DH group is involved in the development of technologies to monitor abusive language online, in particular religious hate, and to analyse the presence of rumours and fake news related to religious topics.

The project has been funded in the ISFP European framework and will go from April 2021 to March 2023.
